How can I get an event in Android Spinner when the current selected item is selected again?

Question

I have written an setOnItemSelectedListener for spinner to respond when the spinner item is changed. My requirement is when I clicks again the currently selected item, a toast should display. How to get this event? When the currently selected item is clicked again, spinner is not responding. `

    StorageSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener(){          @Override         public void onItemSelected(AdapterView adapter, View v, int i, long lng) {                           Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), (CharSequence) StorageSpinner.getSelectedItem(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();          }          @Override         public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView arg0) {             Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Nothing selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();          }     });

I spent a good few hours trying to get something to solve this problem. I ended up with the following. I'm not certain if it works in all cases, but it seems to work for me. It's just an extension of the Spinner class which checks the selection and calls the listener if the selection is set to the same value.

import android.content.Context; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.widget.Spinner;   /** Spinner extension that calls onItemSelected even when the selection is the same as its previous value */ public class NDSpinner extends Spinner {      public NDSpinner(Context context)     { super(context); }      public NDSpinner(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)     { super(context, attrs); }      public NDSpinner(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)     { super(context, attrs, defStyle); }      @Override      public void setSelection(int position, boolean animate) {         boolean sameSelected = position == getSelectedItemPosition();         super.setSelection(position, animate);         if (sameSelected) {             // Spinner does not call the OnItemSelectedListener if the same item is selected, so do it manually now             getOnItemSelectedListener().onItemSelected(this, getSelectedView(), position, getSelectedItemId());         }     }       @Override     public void setSelection(int position) {         boolean sameSelected = position == getSelectedItemPosition();         super.setSelection(position);         if (sameSelected) {             // Spinner does not call the OnItemSelectedListener if the same item is selected, so do it manually now             getOnItemSelectedListener().onItemSelected(this, getSelectedView(), position, getSelectedItemId());         }     }  }

try this

public class MySpinner extends Spinner{  OnItemSelectedListener listener;      public MySpinner(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)     {         super(context, attrs);     }      @Override     public void setSelection(int position)     {         super.setSelection(position);          if (position == getSelectedItemPosition())         {             listener.onItemSelected(null, null, position, 0);         }            }      public void setOnItemSelectedListener(OnItemSelectedListener listener)     {         this.listener = listener;     } }
